I was never fond of bananas as a kid, in fact I was always very wary of any snack that had anything to do with bananas.  I quite frankly loathed the smell of it. But when I had my son, bananas being one of the foods introduced in the first year of his eating solids, I started buying them. Of course, initially he could not eat the whole banana and I became the dustbin for the leftovers (eye roll) I will not lie sometimes I started enjoying it. I think I used to be so tired with mothering duties, that a sweet snack probably gave me the much needed energy to keep going. I think that is when I realized what they mean when they say Bananas are so called mood lifters, once you eat one you do feel very satisfied as they are full of fiber and sugar thus making you feel energized.

Everyone who bakes a little, mostly has a chocolate chip cookie in their repertoire. There must be a million CCC recipes out there and not that the internet needs another one but here I am with my go to classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. I got this recipe from a friend’s mom about ten years back and this recipe is still my absolute favorite. This recipe uses bread flour which lends it an impressive chewy texture. If you want one good classic CCC recipe that is incredibly buttery and chewy in the middle, this is it.
